Witches, mermaids, dragons, a dog who plays the violin, a girl who finds a dinosaur egg and a boy who wanted the world to be flat - all these and more appear in this book of stories and poems by a born storyteller.
Written with warmth and a gentle humour, they read aloud beautifully and are rich in surprises and imaginative twists.
First published in l972 as 'The First Margaret Mahy Storybook', many of these stories have been loved so much that they have appeared in many anthologies - and in many countries - over the years.
They are now freshly presented with charming line drawings by Peter Bailey.
